What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? (Task 6)

As a group we got together and discussed the technologies we used and have added annotations to our final thriller describing the range of technologies we have used to produce it. 

Overall, my use of technologies in the process of production have improved drastically from the beginning of the project to the final product. At the start of the production I had limited knowledge on handling a camera (e.g. focusing, zooming and moving it around). However I noticed that during the process, different shots that we filmed, required me to perform different camera techniques. With the help of the crew I was able to cement my understanding of the camera. For example, whilst Naomi panned the camera across the dressing table, I twisted the focus lens so that the camera could go in and out of focus, this was to give a disorientated look on camera. 

Another technology I used and improved my use of was the editing software, Adobe Premier Pro. At the start, I did not know how to cut the clips and add layers; I had a limited understanding of how to manipulate the timeline. But as we went through the editing process I learnt how to use cutting tools, trim clips and as far as editing sound and adding titles. 

The cutting tool I used to cut the clips  

I was quite daunted, by the editing task ahead, however I was able to quickly learn new techniques and apply them in editing my final product.
